Not the best choice of words but in that moment I felt they didn’t play a courageous game. I made comments straight after the match about the US losing to a “bunch of cowards”. Sweden had played an incredibly defensive game and essentially stopped playing any kind of offense. There was a lot going on, and we were not focused. Our team wasn’t in great form and we had a lack of preparation. Pia found a way to beat us in Rio: we tied 1-1 and eventually lost a penalty shootout. Sweden’s coach for the Rio Olympics was Pia Sundhage, who had also coached the United States a few years previously. The United States play Sweden on Thursday in a match-up that has a little bit of history, especially for me.
